About this listen

 In this episode of T Is for Transformation, Shaun T sits down with Danielle Rosario to explore the intersection of cultural identity, fitness, and mental health. Born in New York with deep Latino roots and raised in Minnesota, Danielle shares the complexities of growing up as a white-presenting Puerto Rican woman—facing cultural disconnection, colorism, and identity stigma both within and outside her community. Danielle opens up about navigating judgment from family and peers, overcoming trauma, and reclaiming her mental and physical health. From losing over 100 pounds to confronting an eating disorder and finding power through therapy, her journey is a powerful reminder that transformation starts from within. This raw, honest conversation tackles race, body image, emotional resilience, and what it truly means to be seen—and accepted—for who you are. Learn more about your ad choices.
